I find it so hard to force myself to sit in blog because I am always so busy. Today is one of the busiest days I have had this break. I was so ex ired to sit and relax, but I have not had a chance to so that. Being in high school it is important you socialize, and with the activities you participate in make it hard to relax. Today I have to get up super early because I am the assistant coach of my little brother's indoor soccer team, and his game was early. We lost, but the kids are really improve for this being their first time play indoor. I am just happy they are having fun. Even though I am big into winning I started to realize that these kids are young, and having fun should be there main priority. After his game my family decide to go out for breakfast since my older brothers are home. I was so happy because we went to Bob Evans, and I think they have the best hot chocolate. Then I went on a run, and I know it was 20 degrees. Other than the coldness outside it was great because I enjoy the feeling of your chest burn when it is cold out. After that I had to go to my friend's OSU game party, and it was fun. I was not able to stay long because my one brother is leaving for college, and I had to get ready for my plans tonight. I am going out to eat with my boyfriend and his family, and then to hang out with his friends. I hate how much that I have had to do this break; not to mention but the finally touches on my college applications. It just seems that during my breaks are my busiest times. Hopefully as the year goes on I can have more breaks and relax. Until then I have to keep at my busy schedule, and try to make the best of my senior year.
I am not going to lie; I can relate to this so much. When break first began, I was excited to start seeing my friends again and relaxing to a high amount. Well, as it turns out, my boss thought it would be cool to jam pack my schedule with a ton of work hours because “oh, Ben’s in college, he has nothing to do!” I do not know why my boss thinks this, but for some reason she is under the impression that college bound classes take less time out of the day in comparison with high school. She is one hundred and fifty percent WRONG. Yes, I know I am not at school as often as high school students, but the amount of work load that is necessary to complete outside of school is monstrous in comparison with high school homework. Before I was a PEOSP student, I basically went home after school, spent maybe an hour our two doing homework, then had the rest of the evening to do whatever I felt like pursuing. Now that I am enrolled at Rhodes State, I basically spend all of my free time completing coursework. This involves my staying up until the early a.m. hours of the night in order to actually complete my assignments. Although I really and truly enjoy being a post-secondary student, I feel as if my boss is, well, sort of ruining it. So, instead of actually being able to sleep in and enjoy my time, I was working and doing coursework, just like I would if we didn’t have a break. I don’t really feel like a senior in high school, I honestly feel as if I am a 35 year old. At least you are ahead of my on applying to colleges for next year, because I am still way behind on that one!
ReplyDeleteI can really relate to this because lately I have felt like I have been running in circles trying to get everything done. It is really hard to sit down and make yourself do your blog when you have other classes work to do and papers to write and not to mention a life. I have to do observation hours to be put on the waiting list for my program and it seems like I have no time to get them finished because I have been so busy cramming for all my classes. I have this blog, a paper, exams, speeches and it seems like there just is not enough time in the day to get it all finished. I cannot wait until Christmas break is here and all of our classes for the semester are over and we can just focus on relaxing and spending good times with our families and friends. I am still in high school as well but I am full time at Rhodes and I do not really talk to too many people from the high school and I am not playing sports so that’s a few less things I have to worry about, thank god. It is just really hard to balance it all out and get everything done in a timely manner without stressing yourself out, it is has seemed pretty impossible for me actually and I am just ready to kick back and not worry for about 3 weeks until my new classes start and more worrying begins!
